Sure, it's the thought that counts, but sometimes all your great aunt can think of is a way to get rid of all her old mousetraps.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And when life gives you a card that says "happy birthday," throw a "Jesus" on there to make it about Christmas. Whether it was grandmas with extra cards, or people who just couldn't find a "hope your deviated scrotum heals" card, here's people making do. Sometimes people's wordsmithing doesn't work out as well as this in the case of really not good signs and designs.
This choosing beggar expected a nice 50% off birthday discount. She was hoping to get the $20 purse half off, and the artist had other plans. Specifically, they clapped back with adding the discount back on, so that the item was at its original price. And you know why? Cause it was "their birthday" too! A job well done, if we do say so ourselves.

This is a real TIFU story, although I don't know if she can entirely blame it on being tired. I've been sleep deprived many times in my life and I never had the urge to do what she did. You'd think that any older sibling might know a thing or two about letting your impulsive bullsh*t-ridden behavior get in the way of NOT being a sh*tty person, especially on your younger sister's birthday. She was but a "drop in the ocean of stupidity." But we all f*ck up, right?
Lying is a very common aspect of human relationships, but too big of a lie can really become a burden. Here's to hoping that your SO's web of lies is all for something as small as making banana bread or using the wrong towel. Some of these people have some serious secrets that could have big impacts if they got out.
We didn't think Ryan Reynolds would be able to top the national treasure of a birthday message he sent Blake Lively's way recently, but leave it to the dangerously witty, ever entertaining man to best himself. Our only question now is whether or not Reynolds can start up with these birthday messages for more people on Twitter.
